Une âme nid d'abeilles, ou nida, est une âme à structure alvéolaire. Elle peut être en aluminium, en tissu de verre ou en Kevlar. La structure nid d'abeilles est largement utilisée en aéronautique, entre des parois en aluminium ou en alliage léger. Le sandwich obtenu présente de bonnes résistances mécanique, acoustique et thermique. Le recours à des nids d'abeilles en alliage léger ou en acier limite le coût du matériau tout en offrant un accroissement de la résistance. Les nids d'abeilles non métalliques, que sont par exemple des papiers ou des tissus imprégnés de résine ou encore des feuilles de polyamide, présentent des qualités d'insensibilité à la corrosion et d'isolation thermique. 1, record 2, French, - %C3%A2me%20nid%20d%27abeilles

The airline’s first tests were to determine the practicability of detecting water ingress in honeycomb structure. ... Different materials stabilise in temperature at different rates, and a considerable thermal difference results between water and composite. In initial tests with pieces of ice embedded in honeycomb panels, the airline found that it could detect 2 cm³ of water in a hole of 25 mm diameter from a distance of 3 mm, 90 min after the panels had been exposed to 36°C below ambient temperature. 1, record 5, English, - honeycomb%20panel
